Here’s the scene: A newly constructed house on the road that leads to Cognac. A large dining room with the furniture taken out, beige tiles, crepe paper hanging from the patio doors and light fixtures, a strobe light. But apart from all that, the atmosphere is fairly subdued. The outdoor lighting in the back garden makes the lawn look even more green. There are more than thirty boys and girls, a few with bleached blond hair and cropped jeans and ankle socks; some are in sweatshirts, others in jackets with epaulets and jodhpurs. Swaths of fluorescent color mix with goth looks. While the soundtrack plays, everyone dances to “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” by Wham or “Footloose” by Kenny Loggins. We all sing along to “The Very First Time” by Jeanne Mas and slow-dance to “Time After Time” by Cyndi Lauper. Someone throws in a little unexpected but welcome melancholy with Nena’s “99 Luftballons.”
